One admitted smuggler, Steven Sarti, described to a U.S. judge in May how he and an 18-man crew stuffed high-potency marijuana into black duffel bags used for hockey gear, then coded the bags with numbers representing different buyers.

Said one MLBPA rep, "If a pitcher can toss a no-no under the influence of LSD -- and I mean that ridiculously clean, high-potency stuff that I'm told was available in the early 70s -- then surely a ketamine addict can go 0 for 5 at the plate with no more sinister an explanation than that he had an off day."

Drug dealers are increasingly cross-breeding plants to produce high-potency variants of marijuana, which are called "kush" in street slang when they have 20 percent THC, Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran said.

The plan is to suppress all beneficial, high-potency nutrients, and to allow only those and a few other vitamins and minerals that will be high-priced, low-dosage, and synthetically made by drug companies.
